Nicole has been acting as a tour guide for a while, leisurely leading the elf Triss to the guild's construction site.
Nika, however, arrived at the Magic Bow branch construction site much earlier than Nika.
Nicole and a dozen or so elves appeared before Nika. Upon seeing Nika, Nicole immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"I have met the head steward."
"Hmm, get up. These must be the people from the Magic Bow Guild, right?"
"Yes, sir."
Nika said, "Nika will take charge from now on. Nicole, you've had a long journey, go and rest first!"
“Thank you for your concern, Steward Nika,” Nicole said, then turned back a few steps and explained to the elf Triss that Steward Nika would be in charge of receiving them.
Triss had already heard Ron's instructions.
This is the head steward of Sandy Territory... a fox clan member!! (?_??)
interesting.
Because of this, the elf Triss rarely showed a look of interest on her face.
Nicole stepped back, and Nika stepped forward, bowing slightly. Nika would now represent Sandy's leadership.
"My elf friends, come with Nika. I will explain in detail the construction of the Magic Bow Branch. As for the specific internal construction, we can make improvements according to your requirements."
In other cities, guilds typically build their own guilds using magic crystals to expand their influence, but Sandy territory had already built guilds for them beforehand.
It's clear that Lord Ron is very sincere.
After touring the construction site with Nika for a while, the elf Triss was quite satisfied. First, it was large enough, and second, the local lord had even hired elementalists to build it for them.
This... wouldn't require too many magic crystals?
Triss clearly understood the importance of magic crystals to the human race.
As they walked and listened, Triss suddenly asked, "Does your lord really want all the guilds to come?"
“Of course, with the arrival of the guild, the people will have many more choices in the future. The great lord always thinks about the lives of the people…” Nika replied casually.
Of course, Ron's chain of objectives went beyond this, but Nika didn't have to reveal everything.
Triss wouldn't really believe other lords, but perhaps Lord Ron of Sandy Territory is truly acting for the sake of his people!
Think about the happiness index of the previous residents!
I wanted to laugh, but I also wanted to know if Ron would succeed.
As night fell, the sky gradually darkened.
Nika then said, "I'll take you to temporary accommodations. Don't worry, the accommodations are free, and some food will be provided free of charge. As for other expenses, you'll have to budget accordingly."
"Understood, please lead the way, sir."
An official post station not far away.
Different privately-run inns and official post stations were specially for receiving guests. Since royalty and other nobles might come, some post stations were excessively luxurious.
Ron knew that some expenses couldn't be cut back.
Out of goodwill towards the elves, Nika led them to a viscount-level inn, which had its own hourly maids and a dedicated chef.
The maids and cooks on a working-hour basis were brought by Nika in advance. In fact, many nobles had their own servants, so local maids were not always needed.
Currently, Sandy City is experiencing a surge in various job vacancies, and these jobs are simply ordinary means of making a living. To prevent any potential accidents involving the maids, they usually have special magical items...
Before the members of the Magic Bow Guild arrived, Nika explained that they should treat the maids and others well. Nika would come again the next day and take them to choose a long-term place to stay.
To ensure they weren't unprepared, Nika asked, "Do you have enough magic crystals?"
Isn't a long-term residence just buying a house?
The guild was built by the local lord, who also had a large surplus of magic crystals, including various initial expenses.
The human woman standing next to Triss said, "Steward, we have enough magic crystals. We will trouble you tomorrow."
"It's alright, goodnight everyone."
After Nika left, Tris and the others checked into the inn.
The viscount-level residence—well, let's just say these guys all felt they were being treated too well.
Especially the several humans who came with the elves, this was the first time they had ever been served.
Of course, they dared not make too many demands on the maids in the mansion.
My God! So this is what life is like for the nobility. (●???● |||)
Why is Lord Sandy treating them so well? This is unexpected. Logically speaking, a lord shouldn't treat a territory with a legendary figure in charge so well.
That evening, the group gathered together and discussed the matter for a while.
As a result, there were various speculations, and the matter was left unresolved.
The next morning, Nika arrived as expected, and the guileless elf Triss asked directly, "Why is your lord doing this?"
"Is there something you need?"
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing the elf reveal the truth, Nika smiled faintly and said, "Can't our elven friends sense it? Our lord looks forward to our elven friends, and we want to establish a cooperative relationship with the elves."
"Then why don't you send someone to the Elf Forest?"
"Well, I'll discuss that with the lord later. Alright, let's go choose your accommodations first!"
Having understood the reason, the group finally felt a little more at ease.
However, Nika led them out of the city.
"Sir, it would be best if your long-term residence were near the union, as this would be convenient for your work."
"Don't worry, there are special beast-drawn carriages that travel through these areas, and there will be magic crystal carriages in the future... Actually, there aren't many suitable houses left in the city. Let's take a look here first, and if you don't like them, we can look at the housing in the city."
Of course, the elves should be shown these scenic area rooms. Otherwise, if the tourist attractions lack the presence of beautiful creatures like the elves, wouldn't they lack appeal?
"Beauty is justice," was a common saying of Lord Ron, a point Nika subtly concealed at this moment.
Actually, there are still suitable houses in the city, many of which are better than the houses in the royal capital where the elves have lived for a long time.
Thinking it over, Triss, filled with curiosity, no longer asked the steward Nika to turn back.
As she said, if she's not satisfied, she'll find a place in the city later.
After a long while, the beast-drawn carriage drove into the future tourist attraction.
The highest peak in the local area.
The scenic area is shaped like a mountain range, with the highest peak in the vicinity. Safety measures are absolutely in place, and a large-scale beast-repelling magic array has been set up in the scenic area.
Once you arrive here, only beast-drawn carriages carrying special magical items are allowed to enter, and most of the houses are built against the mountainside.
To maintain a sense of nature, major road repairs were not undertaken, and several smaller paths were scattered throughout.
There is a natural waterfall not far away, and some houses are built along the water. Before entering the house, there are various aquatic flowers on both sides of a wooden path.
...
...
Small bridges over flowing water, pavilions and towers!
To avoid any sense of abruptness, Ron had patterns commonly found on the continent of Oran drawn in many unintentional places.
Like a stroke of genius.
Is it something from another world? Not quite, because it was built by the people of the Oran continent, and therefore, these people have a different view of the beauty of houses.
One thing is certain: our elven friends have never seen this architectural style before.
Even when I first met Nika, I was still amazed by her beauty.
They had already disembarked, and the elves, along with a few accompanying humans, were all stunned.
Nika smiled and asked, "How is it, everyone?" (￣￣￣??)??°
